Pros

Most of the people are great.

Cons

"Contract to hire" for entry positions, most people don't last 6 months to be eligible. Pay is competitive with Walmart and doing well does not get you hired, they only open a few positions per year to convert from contract to employee. Just downsized, and planning to replace more people with staff brought over from China. High demands and no support from upper management.
